Perhaps you've read too much into my reply. I'm capable of looking things up in my own time - thank you for your offer to help me, though - I was wondering whether you were summarizing a single source. You made it clear that you w

I'll take that as a "no." I appreciate the summary anyway, thanks.

Got a source/link for this? Seems like good advice that I can incorporate into my routine, but I want the non-TL;DR version.

Erm, I think that sentence was in jest. Unless you're making a follow-up joke and I'm just missing that.

From now on I will strive to only write "abstract" instead of "TL;DR" so I can avoid showing solidarity with the presumed profoundly ignorant. It's a matter of principle that I must appear to be the most intelligent

That seems a little silly to me and I think we're splitting hairs with what it means to do category/set theory. I don't know category or set theory, so I hope you will forgive me for using yet another allegory. Let's say

Yeah lol, it definitely has the same vibes I see from people that are like: "Corporations aren't people, they're capitalistic entities. They don't owe you anything" while also turning around and saying "how gre

It's on campus AFAIK: https://mitmh2023.com/ I wonder if going forward events like this will use this sort of reservation/ticket-based system. Perhaps someone more in the know can weigh in.

Just so we're on the same page, I agree to the necessity for words like Hydrogen or Helium. And not gonna lie I get a kick out of using fancy words that in today's English-speaking world serve the dual purpose of implying that I&#

I would encourage you to try and push past this feeling. It's part of a natural change in dialect. There are instances of prejudice toward similar phenomena such as vocal fry or uptalk that have been shown to disproportionately be attr

A lot of this blog post reminded me of https://www.orwellfoundation.com/the-orwell-foundation/orwel... . I am not well-read though, so maybe I just like to pattern match to the few essays I've read that have stuck

I don't see why what you're saying and what the blog post says are incompatible. I feel like Graham is not saying "simplify your thoughts," but rather "simplify your words." Think Up Goer 5 ( https://

Are you offended that you were asked if you were replying to the wrong comment? I suppose this could be a cultural faux pas - we must be from different cultures. I would also be inclined to ask if you meant to reply to another comment. Let

The built-in git is honestly quite intuitive while still being pretty powerful. I haven't tried other GUI-like git integrations but I was a fan of IntelliJ's. That said I was talking to a friend about how great it was and he was l

I feel like you're the kind of commenter the author is advising against taking advice from. Someone learning Scala presumably cares much less about gaining "awareness of the Scala ecosystem" than writing their first Scala pro

Are the pocket operators really that cheap for the functionality they provide? I was always of the opinion that Teenage Engineering was ridiculously overpriced, but so much of what they make is so cool that it makes me want to buy anyway. I

Isn't the whole point of disappearing/delete-able messages that you leave the meaning in your recipient's brain but not on your phones? So if a third party later tries to read your chat logs they won't see anything (sens

Thanks for the insight, I'm not surprised that email parsers refuse to believe that emails outside of .com/.net/.org exist. Any reason why you said I would want to return to Gmail as opposed to continuing using another email

I've found that a lot of the recipe sites I use have a button that takes you directly to the recipe (after all I'm told that the life story is for SEO purposes). I just am so used to skipping over the cruft that I skip the button

I'd wager it's just to stoke his ego. If I had a megaphone through which I could reach thousands and they'd all cheer me on because they thought my ideas were great, I'd want to broadcast every good thought I had.

You could always "cheat" and skip straight to A20 (I assume there is a way to do so, at least). I find the difference between low ascension and A20 to be rather large, so while it's true that optimal play at A20 will work at

I don't know that it's a flamebait topic, I just don't see people using the term in such a strict manner as it was originally defined. But I also don't play games like NetHack. I know "rougelike" to mean a game

Genuine question: have you had problems with software remapping before? I discovered the joys of control-in-place-of-caps-lock when I bought an HHKB, but I got it because I liked it as a keyboard. Since then I've had no trouble convert

Yeah, that's definitely a confusing part of GHCi. If you see an error message like the one in the post Prelude> 1+[2,3] <interactive>:1:1: error: • Non type-variable argument in the constraint: Num [a] (
